Kudu
The kudu is considered to be the most handsome of the antelopes, a very beautiful animal with long twisting spiralled horns displayed by the males.
These beautifully shaped horns have long been prized in Africa for use as musical instruments, honey containers and symbolic ritual objects. In some African cultures the horns are thought to be the dwelling places of powerful spirits.
About The Artist
t ndlovu
Themba is fortunate because he lives and works close to the animals he carves. This gives him the opportunity to study the shape and form of the animals, and he carves different Buck. He loves to create pieces exploring the power and beauty of animals.
His carving is done exclusively in Iron Wood, an exceptionally heavy and durable African wood. This wood is naturally resistant to insects, and carving Iron Wood requires both skill and patience. The strength of Iron Wood allows finer detailing that is only possible with this class of wood.
